The eastern coast of India has experienced devastation caused by heavy storms and cyclones in the past. What measures would you like to suggest to help the victims of such disasters?
Answers
Here are 5 of the most effective ways to help disaster victims:
1. Donate to accredited disaster relief organizations
If you have the ability to donate cash to an accredited disaster relief organization, this will always be the most helpful way to help disaster victims. Cash donations offer the most flexibility, and can be directed and used where they are needed most.
2. Plan a fundraiser
Organizing a fundraiser, whether you conduct it independently or in conjunction with your kids’ school, your church, or your community association, is a great way to raise funds or collect donations that can be sent into evacuation and relief zones via an accredited organization. Before you start collecting money or supplies, contact the organization you intend to donate to and confirm what is needed.
If you are unable to organize a fundraiser or want to cast an even wider net, you can also raise money using crowdfunding websites like GoFundMe or YouCaring.
3. Send goods and supplies to loved ones in affected areas
Essentials like furniture, mattresses, and clothing are often lost or destroyed during a natural disaster like a hurricane. Stores may not reopen right away and supplies of common necessities might be scarce, so replacing these items can be difficult. If you can, get in touch with loved ones in affected areas and find out what they need before you ship household goods their way. The most commonly required items include:
Furniture
Mattresses
Clothing
Toiletries
Food and water
Generators

4. Ship supplies into recovery and evacuation zones
If you don’t have any loved ones in the area but still want to help, consider shipping much-needed supplies into recovery and evacuation zones. Always contact an accredited organization before donating relief supplies—sending goods that aren’t needed will add to the workload relief workers and volunteers are already dealing with, and will divert limited resources and attention away from the relief effort.
Items that are commonly needed in evacuation zones include:
Medical supplies
Pallets of water or food
Generators
Heavy equipment and machinery
Construction materials
